Satellite orbit :
\The apogee(the point in orbit farthest from earth) and the perigee (the point in orbit closest to earth) of an elliptical orbit of an earth satellite are given by and
, then the eccentricity of the orbit is
.
The highest point above the earth is .
The lowest point closest to the earth is .
Find the eccentricity of the orbit.
\The eccentricity of the orbit is .
Substitute and
.
.
Therefore, the eccentricity of the orbit is .
The eccetrincity of the orbit is .
